One man is dead and another is in grave condition after a home invasion on the West Side on Friday evening.

San Antonio police responded to a call at a home in the 100 block of South San Eduardo just before 8 p.m. to find two men shot. Both individuals — one in his 40s and one in his 20s — were residents of that address. The pair were transported to University Hospital, where the older man succumbed to his injuries about an hour later. The younger man is still in serious condition, said SAPD spokesman Lt. Jerry Villarreal.

Villarreal said witnesses saw between four to seven individuals jump out of a late model silver Mazda and run into the house, opening fire on the residents. The man in his 40s tried to run across the street, knocking on a neighbor’s door for help.

“We had several individuals, running through the house, who started shooting,” Villarreal explained.

As of 10 p.m. Friday, police were still looking for the vehicle. Villarreal did not confirm whether police had any suspects in custody, though at least one individual at the scene was placed in a squad car as dozens of bystanders looked on.
